Failed.


CHICAGO, June 15.-Kershaw & Co.
are officially posted as having failed to
go through the clearing houses. This
means their collapse. The immediate
cause of the failure is due to Rosenfeldt
eco. who garnisheed Kershaw's account
in the American Exchange Note Bank.
New YORK, June 15.-Charles Henro-
tin, Chicago operator who joined tt 9
New York York Stock Exchange on
January 10Th, 1886, notified the Ex-
change this morning that he was unable
to meet his contracts.
CHICAGO, June; 15.-Shortlv after
noon, the announcement that Kershaw
had failed to meet his clearing houses
differences was posted, but it seemed
to have little or DO effect on prices.
Kershaw said he could meet all claims
against the firm, If Resented had not
checked against, thereby tying up
a million dollars which rnmor saws he
had to his credit. The following firms
also failed to go through the clearing
house: s. D. Eldridge, NJ B Crofts &
Co., H. K. Matthews, Youst & Briefly,
B. J. McCleary, II. J. Yodst & Co.,
Hubbard & Co. and Pickering & Co.
Just before the close of the session, T.
E. Balding & Co. announced that they
were even on the market, and requested
that their trades should not be closed
out. The morning session closed with
q tirmer feeling. During the last hour
July wheat fuctuated between tx q
723s.
CHICAGO, June Is -Four more fail
ures have just been announced on
change. The firms are: T. B. Balding
& Co, Crosby & Co., Hebbard & Go.
and NJ. B. Crasts. Balding & Co. claim
to be even on the market The suspen-
sion of Hebbard & Co. and Crosby &
Co. caused surprise, as both came IN
expectedly. Hebbard & Co. claim to be
solvent. July wheat dropped to 1871.
The suspension of s. NJ. Robinson
and Craft & Co. has been announced in
the present unsettled state of affairs.
Even members of the firm have no idea
how they stand Mareins are open and
trade is unsettled, and until matters
are adjusted it will be next to impos-
sible to tell how any of the firms stand
The day closes with a prevailing feel
ing that the worst is now over. The
announcement that Kershaw & Co.
will be able to pay their obligations has
created intense excitement.

THE CARE or The HAIR,

The care of the hair is an impor-
tant branch of fashion at all times,
though often fashion dictates an in
judicious treatment and prescribes
modes against all rules of health
and reason. Such Importance has
been given to the hair that some
philosophers make the chignon, coils
and puffs the index of civilization,
and show how eccentricity in head
dress and couture marks the degra-
dation of the time. 1t is well under
stood that masses of false hair in
jure patural growth, but a freak of
fashion, which seems harmless, may
be made equally hurtful. This APP
parently innocent fashion is that of
huiliness and lightness of the hair
produced by continual washing.
The best specialists on treatment
of the hair say that the hair should
be washed once in six weeks and not
oftener, and that CASTLE soap and
not boraX, soda or any other drying
material should be used. After
washing it is well to rub the scalp
with some reliable ointment. The
natural oil, which to some appear
Objectionable, is the life-giving oint-
ment of the hair, and should not be
destroyed. Dry hair has dead
appearance, the ends split and
growth is retarded. The fine comb
is most hurtful; but a soft brush,
used judiciously, gives vigor to the
scalp and keeps it in healthy con-
dition. The practice of cutting the
ends of the hair is useful, and can
be accomplished easily by braiding
the hair and then cutting the ends.
The care of the hair is certainly as
important as that of the teeth, but
is much more neglected. The rules
of its preservation are simple and
important. Vigorous brushing, cut
ting the ends when necessary, wash
ing with CASTLE soap once in six
weeks, and the desirable avoidance
of false hair, should preserve and
strengthen the hair. But if the hair
comes out and becomes lifeless and
thin in spite of this treatment, the
best remedy is TO seek a reliable
specialist on scalp diseases and to
submit to thorough professional
direction IS. +. Call.

For Constipation,
Sluggish Liver, etc.

T Mike many kinds of cathartc
~ medicines, do not make you
feel worse before you feel better.
Their operation is gentle, but thor
ough, and unattended with disagree
able effects, such as nausea, gripping
pains, &c.
Seigel's Operating Pills
are the best family physic that has
ever been discovered. They cleanse
the bowels from all irritating SUBJ
stances, and leave them in healthy
condition.
The best remedy extant for the
bane of our lives--constipation and
sluggish liver.
These Pills prevent fevcrs and all
kinds of sickness, by removing all
poisonous matter from the bowels.
They operate briskly, yet mildly,
without any pain.
If you take a severe cold, and are
threatened with fever, with pains
in the head, back and limbs, one or
two doses of Seigel's Operat-
ing Pills will break up the cold
and prevent fever.
A coated tongue, with brackish
taste, caused by foul matter in the
stomach. A few doses;of Seigel's
Operating Pills will cleanse the
stomach, remove the bad taste, and
restore the appetite, and with it
bring good health.
Oftentimes disease, or partially
decayed food, causes sickness, nau-
sea and diarrh1a. If the bowels are
cleansed from this impurity with n
dose Of Seigel's Operating
Pills, these disagreeable effects
will vanish, and good health result.
Seigel's Operating Pills
prevent ill-effects from excess in
eating or drinking. A good dose at
bedtime renders a person fit for bust
ness in the morning.
These pills, being Sugar-coated,
are pleasant to take. The disagree
able taste common to most pills is
obviated.

THE TIMES paRnsLL LETTER. @
STRONG EVIDENCE THAT 1T WAS A
CLEVER FORGERY.

Lincoln (Neb.), May John
FITZGERALD, president of the IRISH
National league of America, recently
submitted the London Times fac
smile of the alleged Parn,l letter,
together with documents in posses
sion Of Patrick Egan, in the hand
writing Of Richard Pigott, formerly
proprietor of the Dublin Fishman,
to a committee consisting of Govern
or Thayer, Treasurer Willard, Audi
tor Babcock, Mayor Sawyer, Post
master Watkins and the cashiers of
the city banks. To-day the COM
miltee reported as follows:
We, the undersigned, have, at the
request of John Fitzgerald, presi-
dent of the Irish National league of
America, carefully examined the
fac-simile published in the London
Times of the 18th ult., alleged to
have been writted by Hon. Charles
S. Parnell, and also the letters
signed by Richard Pigott, addressed
to Mr.. Patrick Egan, dated June 20,
1875 December 9th and 22, 1880;
January IA, 1881, and March 9,
1881, and also the inclosure con-
tanned inside of the letter of March
., 1881, and we have no hesitation
in saying that the alleged fac-simile
and said letters and said Enclosure
were written by the same hand.
The documents referred to were
letters from Pigott, wherein he tried
to blackmail the league through the
United States treasurer, on the pre-
tense that he had been offered 500
shillings by an alleged Dublin castle
detective to publish fictitious
article in relation to the league fund,
prepared for the purpose of discredit-
ing the league, and the letter to him
from these agents, which he inclosed
as proof of his statement.
In his letter to the treasurer of the
league, Pigott said he was on the
verge of financial ruin. and must
have money. He would suppress
the Dublin castle article, however,
if the league would make him a
temporary loan of 800 shillings.
These letters and fac-simile of
Parnell's alleged letter the committee
above named believe to be in the
handwriting of the same man.
